Web. 5 May 2013). “It’s a significant finding,”said David Ma,a professor in Guelph’s Department of Human Health and Nutritional Sciences,and one of the study’s authors. “We show that lifelong exposure to omega-3s has a beneficial role in disease prevention —in this case,breast cancer prevention. What’s important is that we have proven that omega-3s are the driving force and not something else.” There are many sources of Omega-3 oils,including fish and flax seed oil. And you can take these in many different supplemental forms from liquids to chewables or softgels. Typically liquids are the best value and you’d be surprised how good some of them taste,like Barlean’s Key Lime Omega Swirl. Never tried it? Come into the Wellness Department and ask for a sample!
